SCOPE
of Micro-Fluidization
|
January 2008
|
|
|
Dear Steve,
Welcome to our new subscribers! Micro-Mail SCOPE
is our news and application e-mail which reports
the broad "Scope" of possibilities for Micro-
Fluidization. Each month we send you successful
scenarios showing methods of applying fluids
and lubricants which result in less consumption and
better overall manufacturing performance. Micro-Mail
also includes industry news and the latest updates on
our products.
January has been a dynamic month in the life of our
company. As it opened, we begun the transition to a
new owner. Near its close we lost a family
member and dear friend. This month and next we
will update you on these stories.
We enter 2008 with great anticipation. Our customers
and industry partners will continue counting on us to
deliver exceptional products and service, so their
lubrication processes will be efficient, clean, and
economical. We proudly accept this responsibility.

Cordially, Larry

UNIST Transitions to New Ownership
Chuck Boelkins Prepares to Lead UNIST into the Future
Wally Boelkins has been the sole owner of UNIST
since 1968. From the humble confines of his small
shop containing a desk and a workbench, Wally
began with a single product, and a concept he
believed could strongly impact industrial lubrication.
Today, with over 6000 customers on 6 continents, the
company is only beginning to realize its potential.
Chuck Boelkins joins UNIST for the first time as
its new President. He looks forward to advancing the
company's influence regarding the proper application
of fluids and lubricants for industry. Chuck sees the
opportunity, and the need for industrial companies to
improve their bottom line "by reducing the amount of
fluids consumed through repeatable, reliable
application."

UNIST Coolubricator Improves Powder Coating Success
Paint Roller Technology Improved Upon
Paint rollers are frequently used to spread around
lubricant onto parts and stock. We replace them
often. The truth is, an apparently inexpensive paint
roller solution can actually be very costly to a
manufacturing operation because there is often no
control over the amount or consistency of fluid
applied. The result is more costly fluid usage,
handling, storage clean-up and disposal.
When an internal suspended ceiling manufacturer
was applying so much lubricant, their parts had to
take two turns through the wash process, it was time
to look for a change.

Uni-Roller Replaces Paint Rollers
Fluid Application Automated and Applied to Both Sides of the Stock
In this application paint roller technology was also
being used, but could not even apply fluid to the
material underside where the draw was taking place.
UNIST replaced the hand process with a cam driven
pump and roller system to get fluid to the right
surfaces.
